Writing Activities Ask the students to imagine that they are Japanese American young people living in California in 1941. Have them create diary entries that describe how they felt when they heard about the Pearl Harbor attack, when they read headlines in the newspapers talking about the need to remove people like them from their homes, when they saw the posted evacuation order, and when they first saw the relocation center. Have the students share their feelings. World War Two was not the only time in American history when fear led to persecution, and Japanese Americans were not the only “enemy aliens” detained. Have the students compare the relocation camps to the Indian Reservations or the POW camps in the Civil War.
